Ubayd bin Maymun al-Tabban al-Muqri' (may Allah have mercy on him) relates that Harun bin al-Musayyib (may Allah have mercy on him) asked me: "According to whose reading do you recite?" I said: "According to the reading of Nafi' (may Allah have mercy on him)." He asked: "From whom did Nafi' (may Allah have mercy on him) learn his reading?" I said: "Nafi' (may Allah have mercy on him) informed us that he recited to al-A'raj, that is, Abd al-Rahman bin Hurmuz (may Allah have mercy on him); and al-A'raj (may Allah have mercy on him) said that he recited to Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him); and Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) said that he recited to Sayyiduna Ubayy bin Ka'b (may Allah be pleased with him); and Sayyiduna Ubayy bin Ka'b (may Allah be pleased with him) said: 'I presented the Noble Qur'an to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Jibril (peace be upon him) has commanded me to present the Qur'an to you."'"
Imam al-Tabarani (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "No one narrated this hadith from Nafi' (may Allah have mercy on him) except Ubayd."
